“In short, Engelken defines the ‘extra’ in extraordinary.”
Christopher Loudon, JazzTimes (Sept 2010)
Caravan
“Arranging and producing Caravan has been an important journey for me: self exploration to self realization.
A wandering yet steadfast path of discovery, resistance, acceptance, despair, bliss, setbacks, small victories…
so many lessons learned. Success and failure are fabulously intertwined! And I feel great joy in knowing ‘This is mine!’ ”
CD Art Design by Louis Cubba
